What we need in summer is some cold drinks and a cool bar to serve them. A mobile bar cart or a colorful outdoor bar is exactly what you need: the first can be moved both indoors and outdoors, and the second will make your outdoor space super inviting. If you feel like making something on your own and need inspiration, here it is! We’ve prepared a bunch of outdoor bars, bar stations and even ice chests to serve delicious and refreshing drinks in the best way possible. All of them are made of our favorite IKEA items, look at them, get inspired and find some DIY projects to realize these pieces.
